Senator Warns of Rapid Plan to Deport 500+ Unaccompanied Migrant Children

Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden warns the Trump administration is preparing a rapid removal plan for more than 500 unaccompanied migrant children in ORR custody, bypassing protections and humanitarian duties. He urges an immediate halt, noting past rapid deportation attempts and questions sponsor-vetting under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act. The administration denies plans; advocates say children have faced long stays in shelters while sponsors are sought.

Deaths of Unaccompanied Migrant Teens in US Custody Raise Concerns.

An unaccompanied 17-year-old Honduran migrant housed at a Florida shelter died while under the care of the US Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement. The minor was taken to the hospital after being found unconscious and was pronounced dead an hour later. An investigation by a medical examiner is underway, and the ORR said it will continue to receive more information on the death from the care provider. This is the second unaccompanied migrant child to die in the custody of HHS this year.
